It really was a great deal, and fingers crossed everyone's healthy and puts it together this year.

You gotta pay a tribute to join the bandwagon. Have your number one team send a little something nice to your second team for Okafor and you'll officially be part of the process.

Is Fultz settling for those long 2s because the lane is clogged and the entire opponents D is focused on him?

Because it's not like he can't get to the line when he has almost 40% FTr and 7.++ FTA per 40

Fultz is a really young rookie on a team with better young players on it. It would shock me if he was very productive out of the gate.

On the flip side, he will have very little pressure on him, and a lot less defensive attention than he is used to.

Will he adjust to the longer 3 right away? Not sure.

Looks like Crusader's Billy Lange running some of that workout?

So now that he's a Sixer I had to work out a positive projection for him and came up with Mr. Big Shot. :nod:

Watch on YouTube

He had a tough start to his career before he learned from some vets how to be a true NBA point guard. The days of that sort of true floor general point guard are over so it will be an easier road for Fultz IMO as a scoring guard.

Don't wanna be a Debbie downer in these good times for you guys but do you guys wish you could of hung on to Noel or most of you don't care?

I would have held onto him if he was only going to return what we got, which was basically nothing.

I believed that his trade value would go up if he was signed, but in the end, it's pretty irrelevant to where we are now.

Click on the video "Markelle Fultz tries not to worry about trade rumors"

In there sixers beat writers ask him about his knee. He says it's fine, but he never explained what happened with it...

I love Fultz, but is anyone worried about that knee? Could that be why Ainge traded him... We all know about our crack medical staff.. .They can catch anything

Fultz is a Sixer now. It's his turn to hurt his knee and miss the season. We redshirt our top picks around here.

I'd laugh but, it's true... Kinda scary to be honest... Zero confidence in our medical staff... Really want Colangelo to do something about that this summer...

We weren't going to pay the max for a guy coming off the bench behind Embiid... especially when we had Richaun Holmes who I believe is every bit as talented.

Yeah that's kinda what a i meant. Whether a Noel/Embiid front court was gonna work as the starters.

Regret is more with not having a much better return for Noel. Altho everything considered, I don't think it's that bad.

Noel will just play back-up and compete with Holmes. While he's about to be paid for 20+M.

For now we need 2 way wings over centers.

Noel is not worth a max contract. I thought he might have been for a good while. I thought he was an elite rim protector. No, he is not. I have seen an elite rim protector, his name is Embiid.

Anyone else want to weigh in on that link I provided where it seemed like although Fultz addressed the question about the condition of his knee, he said he didn't want to go into details... I'm sorry, but with the history of this organization, this really concerns me... Does anyone know if any of the other teams checked his medical records (or if they all have to under protocol)... I also heard that when he attended the combine he had medical testing... Just want to make sure multiple teams have checked him with a fine tooth comb... I will be so upset if something comes up, and if he were to miss time (5 of our most recent pics have all had injury concerns).
